Googled Bjorn Ironside, this popped up, and I felt like making myself sad because dammit this bad bitch deserved better.
When Bjorn first saw her, everything else faded into the background. The hall was dark and smoky, she alone was vibrant and light, mumbling apologies for ale spilled into his lap. He noticed her hands shaking, clenched into fists, and tried to smile at her but she hurt his eyes like a blinding flash of lightning.
She whirled into his life like a storm, her hair in the wind and the smell of electrified air. Her flesh was a shock beneath his hands the first time he touched her, tamed the thunder rumbling in her.
And then she was gone just like lightning, too brief and beautiful to be bound to earth, too erratic to be predicted. She left him only with the taste of electricity in his mouth and a daughter he could barely stand to look at with her blue eyes like lightning flashes. The girl was like her mother, brief and beautiful, leaving him empty and aching.
He filled the void with Torvi, tame as springtime, but every time he opened his eyes all he hoped to see was lightning.
